He is sald to favor a mixed com- mission being negotiated for under a new treaty with Germany which is reported to be nearing completion.

The roads serve the non-union soft coal mining areas south of the Ohio river which have furnished most of the country’'s coal output since April 1 when the miners struck in all the unionized fields and officlals have de- clared that the tieup on their lines indfcated railroad unions were work- ing with the miners to stop produc- tion of soft coal.

The Louisville and Nashville lines serve Kentucky coal flelds which have been the principal source of coal supply since the strike for Chicago and other middle west points. The obstructions to the movement of coal over this system placed by the rail strike were considered largely respon- sible for a runaway coal market ir mediately created in that territory. It was belleved that the first re- sult increase coal shipments for the non- urnion territory. Modifications Later. Managements of the roads notified the interstate commerce commission that they would modify the embargo orders as rapidly as conditions per- mitted and gradually accept other classes of freijght for movement, as they were able to transport it with- out interfering with the coal flow.

One proposal, according to those claiming to have information of the president's suggestion, would be for the railroads to waive the seniority question and take all strikers back.to work.

The third was for separate adjust- ment of the seniority dispute by each road with its own employes through joint committees to be appointpd. Clouds Roll B; .
